Automobile racing engines first revved in France, in the early 1890’s. From a simple road race it has evolved as an innovative competition judged by speed and valour. Immediately preceding the first motor race that was held in France in mid July, 1894, the more thrilling version of the pursuit was implemented on open roads.
   
Racing that started at more than one hundred miles per hour, referred to as Grand Prix, then gradually showed transition into formula racing, also known as Formula One, which is the highest standard of custom built racing where the cars are built with the purpose of reaching unimaginable speeds. Singapore’s vibrant lifestyles allow many of the motor lovers be a part of these grand races.
